Craig David has come out to say that he has not had sex for years, opening up about celibacy on “The TMZ Podcast” saying he’s now on top of his game creatively.
Craig David famous for writing the intimate anthem “7 Days” — says he still is celibate … adding he decided to do it because he wanted to “park” sex in favor of spirituality, TMZ reports.
Then the bombshell … Craig David says he hasn’t gone for a roll in the hay in more than two years, a bit surprising since he wrote a song about making love pretty much every day of the week way back in the day.
Craig David says the song was more aspiration than fact, but, adds putting the kibosh on sex has shot his creativity through the roof — reaching a peak during his hiatus.
It seems celibacy’s paying off because David’s kicking off his “7 Days Commitment Tour” in Vegas at the Lovers & Friends festival Saturday — his first live band tour in North America in almost 20 years.
The festival’s got a star-studded lineup BTW … Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Ciara, Nelly Furtado, Nas, Ludacris and — the man Craig’s eager to see — Usher.
Bottom line, Craig’s saying putting sex aside has totally been worth it — and, it sounds like he’s staying with spiritual lifestyle choice as he heads on his continent-wide tour.
